What you need for each candle
- Wax: use a moulding wax: Premium soy wax for figures and moulds, APF mouldable soy wax or Paraffin 56-58. Container waxes are too soft to release cleanly from a mould.
- Wick: size 6-7 cm, matched to the candle diameter (6-7 cm cotton wicks). Do a test burn with your wax and fragrance.
- Wick threader to pass the wick through the base and wick holder to keep it centred.
Tips for use
- Thread the wick with the threader and centre it at the mould opening with the holder.
- Pour at the right temperature for your wax: around 65 °C for the soy wax for figures.
- Keep a little wax aside: it can sink in the centre as it cools, and a second pour levels the base.
- Let it cool completely, away from draughts, before unmoulding.
- Unmould by stretching the silicone gradually from the top; with a tall candle, pulling from the base can snap it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use container soy wax? It is not ideal: it is soft, so the candle may lose its shape or stick to the mould. A moulding wax works better.
How much wax do I need per candle? Fill the mould with water, measure the millilitres and multiply by 0.9 to get the approximate grams of wax.
